This Apple Cider Beef Stew is gluten free and full of comfort. It's easy to throw together and tastes great the next day. It's the perfect meal to make for company over the holidays.


They prefer a lighter tasting broth and this Apple Cider Beef Stew fits the bill. It's almost sweet, but the sweetness can be adjusted by using less apple cider and more beef stock.


I've tried a lot of different substitutions to make beef stew gluten free and this is my favorite so far: I used quinoa flour to replace the regular flour in the browning stage. The quinoa flour has a very mild taste and helps to thicken the broth. Then all you have to do is make sure your beef stock is gluten free. I prefer beef stock over beef broth because it has more flavor. You can tell by how dark the broth is ↓.

Ingredients
  • olive oil

  • 3 carrots cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces

Instructions
Season beef with salt and pepper.
Heat dutch oven over medium high heat.
Add 2 tbsp of olive oil to a dutch oven over medium hight heat. Put quinoa flour in a small bowl and toss each piece of beef in the flour. Shake off the excess each time and throw away any leftover flour.
Brown beef on each side. You will need to do this in two batches so you don't overcrowd the pan.
Transfer the browned beef to a plate and set aside.
Add 2 tbsp oil and saute garlic for 2 minutes.
Add onions and cook for another few minutes.
Add the tomato paste and cook for a few minutes.
Add beef with any juices back to pan. Add broth, cider, bay leaves, and rosemary to the pot.
Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low and simmer with the lid on for about an hour, stirring occasionally.
Add carrots and potatoes and cook for another 30-45 minutes or until everything is tender.
Add frozen peas and cook for a few more minutes.
Garnish with fresh rosemary or parsley.
Season to taste with fresh pepper and salt.

    This recipe looks so good will.

    Will try it next. I was looking for a sour beef resipe. This is a great substitute. I uaually buy the bottle of mix and make it with ginger snap cookie gravy. The mix company went out of business. Still have 3 bottles left. Thanks for this recipe.
